Kohler Co. Launches Kohler Health, Ushering in a New Era of Health and Wellness in the Home

Kohler Co. announced the launch of Kohler Health, a new venture redefining digital health and wellness by transforming the bathroom into a connected, data-informed hub for proactive, personalized care. “For more than 150 years, Kohler has challenged convention with innovations that transform how people live,” said David Kohler, Chair and CEO. “With Kohler Health, we’re extending that legacy by combining technology, design, and science to help people live healthier, more sustainable lives.”

Kohler Health envisions the bathroom as an untapped source of vital health insights, encouraging people to rethink it as a central space for wellness. “We built Kohler Health with a clear mission: to make the bathroom the center of health and wellness,” said Kash Kapadia, CEO of Kohler Health. “It’s where many start and end their day, and now it can provide meaningful, proactive insights.”

At the heart of this launch is Dekoda, Kohler Health’s first breakthrough product. Designed to blend seamlessly into any bathroom, Dekoda attaches to the toilet bowl and uses advanced optical sensors and machine learning to deliver real-time health insights through the Kohler Health app. The app gives users continuous, private access to key wellness indicators with features like fingerprint authentication and end-to-end encryption for security.

Dekoda discreetly tracks hydration, gut health, and the presence of blood in the toilet bowl, establishing personal baselines and identifying trends over time to help users make data-driven lifestyle decisions. “Dekoda was designed with scientific rigor and cutting-edge technology to offer insights that are passive, precise, and profoundly personal,” said Nora Tophof, Executive Director and Head of Business at Kohler Health. “It represents a new category in digital health—gracious, elegant, and meaningful.”
